Whatever you do, do NOT tell your children that they can wear their new bathing suits to the pool right after nap time!

Rookie mistake.

As I said it, as the words were coming out of my mouth, in s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n like in the movies, I knew immediately I had made a mistake!

Yesterday there was no napping. Except the pretend snooze on the stairs here.

It's been hard to get this one to be this sweet lately.

Hey everybodyeeeeeeeeeeeee(in a Grover voice), LET'S GO!

HJ's favorite past time: transferring water

Love this with the water droplets suspended in air!

The baby pool is our friend. Both girls are pretty content to hang there for an hour or so. I've found it easier to bring an easy cotton dress to change each girl into after pool time. Otherwise, you've got a big mess to contend with when you walk in the door. Changing at the pool means that they can go into the playroom and entertain themselves while I clean up the big mess of wetness and fix dinner.

Oh, did I mention my favorite time to go to the pool is after nap time?

My philosophy:

Time is limited. You don't have to spend ALL day there.

Use of sunscreen is optional. If we don't get there until 4:30, I don't lather them up. Yesterday we got there at 3:30, so I did.

She's The Mama

I'm a stay-at-home mom of two little girls, a baby boy and one crazy chocolate lab. In my former life, I was a high school teacher and a crazed UT (that's TENNESSEE, y'all!) fan, who was once headed straight for H-E-Double-L.
When I met my husband-to-be, I got on the straight track to the wonderful life I lead now: I'm a woman of God, a lover of Jesus, a wife to have, and a mother to hold.

She's Going HIS Way

Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
